October 12 1990 

THE HOT SPOT opens in LA & NY. Written by Charles Williams and Nona Tyson from Williams’ 1952 novel Hell Hath No Fury. Directed by Dennis Hopper. Steamy, pulpy, neo-noir potboiler with Don Johnson as a laconic, small-time grifter who tumbleweeds into a small, sun-scorched Texas backwater where his bank-robbing plans get side-tracked by a nubile young receptionist and a lubricious housewife with murder on her mind. With Jennifer Connolly and Virginia Madsen as the sultry, sexually provocative femme fatales.
